Just before the first presidential debate Monday night, a new round of polls has been released that should strike fear into the hearts of Democrats.
First off, the national race is looking very tight indeed. Democrats had hoped that Clinton had rebounded after a couple of respected polls last week showed her taking a 6-point lead over Trump. But the newest polls from major outlets ABC News/Washington Post, Quinnipiac, and Bloomberg show Clinton up 2, up 1, and down 2 to Trump in a four-way matchup that includes Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.
But whats probably scarier for Clinton is that occasional polls are now coming out showing Trump leading Colorado a state that has been a key part of Clintons most likely path to victory.
Indeed, this new round of polling has been enough to tip FiveThirtyEights now cast model, meant to show who would win the election if it were held today, into projecting a Trump win.
Keep in mind that FiveThirtyEights other two versions of its model still show an extremely narrow Clinton edge, and every other major model still gives Clinton the edge too, as you can see at the Upshot. So overall, Trumps not the favorite yet.
But the Colorado news especially helps suggest a plausible path to an Electoral College victory for Trump, which he hasnt had in some time, and suggests that what some have dubbed a firewall for Clinton may no longer be so secure....

Could be...? It is GONE!
Could be? As usual, Vox is a day late with its news.
Even Vox is letting the tow line slip away.
Just wait ‘til after tonight. *Poof*
Hillary Clinton could be vanishing, There, fixed it.
Rofl yeah! I was pretty surprised when I saw this story was by Vox...
Her chances in Colorado are going to pot?
lol
but do they also only write news about him in the entertainment section like huff post did.
The LSM is still pretending we believe their BS polls.
Tighter and tighter the election becomes - otherwise the DNC media would have to admit Trump is ahead.
Paging Xeno....
Ultimately it depends on the outcome the Sultan prefers.
